About the game
The 24 puzzle is an arithmetical puzzle in which the objective is to find a way to manipulate four integers so that the end result is 24. For example, for the numbers 4, 7, 8, 8, a possible solution is
(
7
−
(
8
÷
8
)
)
×
4
=
24
{\displaystyle (7-(8\div 8))\times 4=24}
. Note that all four numbers must be used exactly once.
The problem has been played as a card game in Shanghai since the 1960s, using playing cards. It has been known by other names, including Maths24. A proprietary version of the game has been created which extends the concept of the basic game to more complex mathematical operations.More from Suntex
